Cornerback

The biggest weakness of the Patriots defense this season has been the position of cornerback.

That is no secret.

With that being said, the Patriots will look to upgrade in the 2012 Draft much like they tried to do in 2011 with Ras-I Dowling. Unfortunately, Dowling missed the entire season with injury and wasn't able to help the depleted secondary.

Bill Belichick is known for trading down if there isn't a player he likes in the slot he's in and with two first-round picks this draft, he is sure to do much of the same.

However, if the Patriots stand their ground and take both picks they could certainly use one of them on a corner.
